Good point.  Sadly, we aren't allowed to fight over that stuff anymore.

It's one of the things that's gone away with the decline of monarchy.  ;D

There is no way I can offer pithy comment without it becoming political, shucks.  Dan, I'm several episodes through '24 Hours in the ER' and haven't seen hide-nor-hair of you.  One really cute 'drunk counselor' but nothing of "British Dan" as Tracy calls you. A bunch of stabbings though.  Also, our DVR is really full.
So according to the latest dev blog, in MWO we can play either as mercs or directly for a faction.  We still leaning towards the LCG with that in mind?
You know the design of the game bothers for two reasons.  First, I want to play when I want to play and being a working adult with child due before the release date means I'll do that sporadically.  Second, if I join a clan/faction/clique/most-awesome-faction-ever means that my sporadic participation hurts the team.  Also, if most of us play sporadically then how will we know our planet has been invaded.  We'll be holding up the entire universe or worse making a hash out of the LCG.

Lastly, I thought I was the only person who remembered the Rick Rollin' of America during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Thank you; I've not come this close to peeing my pants with laughter in weeks.  The wife enjoyed it also.

Dan, don't be a pixelated blob...don't let it happen.  I suggested to the wife that we...shudder...Face the Book.  She talked me out of it; she wouldn't wouldn't let it happen.  Some things, aside from Rick Rolling, shouldn't happen.  Anyway, do you have any idea as to which case they might have been filming when you pixelated out?

I was caught in a trauma call in one of the last episodes but it is a real blink-and-you-miss-it thing, I was standing at the back with another bloke and neither of us was very interested in it (the rule is to have a low threshold to call and stand us down rather than risk someone missing decent care)

Join the Book of Faces, but do it as something anonymous (like as Charlie 6), quite a few of my friends who are doctors, nurses or teachers have done this to avoid patients/students finding them but to allow them to share baby photos etc...

I'll keep an eye out for two guys of whom "neither...was very interested".  As to Facing the Book, I'm up for my security review in the coming year and the US Govt has figured out that it isn't six degrees of indictment but separation.

I didn't watch the parade itself (I haven't been up that early on Thanksgiving since I graduated High School and began exploring my nocturnal proclivities).  But it was chronicled on Yahoo or MSN or somesuch.  It was the funniest thing I'd seen in a while, and I still chuckle when I remember it.  All the funnier because it was actually Rick Astley doing the Rickrolling.

Since not everyone uses the full sized pages anymore, people were declaring NPA at odd times, and the system broke down.

I'll say that at 25 posts per page, NPAs are now nearly as juicy and tasty as they were on the old old boards at 30  ;D
